Planned Parenthood Statement on H.R. 3 Passing the U.S. House of Representatives
Planned Parenthood strongly opposes H.R. 3 and is outraged that it passed the U.S. House of Representatives. H.R. 3 is a dangerous bill that goes far beyond any other proposal ever introduced in Congress to take comprehensive health care coverage away from women. H.R. 3 would also raise taxes on small businesses and individuals, as well as put women who are pregnant and facing severe illness at more risk. Simply put, H.R. 3 is a far-reaching bill that is bad for Americas families, bad for the economy, and bad for small businesses.
Small business owners have begun to speak out in opposition to H.R. 3.
This vote, coming shortly after the U.S. House voted to bar Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds to provide preventive health care to millions of women, is just the latest example of how the House Republican leadership is out of step with the majority of Americans and refuses to address the important issues of jobs and the economy.
According to an April 2011 Hart Research poll, the vast majority of American voters, 63 percent, oppose the tax increases proposed in this bill.
Thankfully, the administration has made clear this extreme proposal is unacceptable. In addition, we are confident that the Senate will stand firm in its commitment to American women and reject this extreme proposal.
FACTS on H.R. 3:
H.R. 3 is a far-reaching, unprecedented bill that will undermine womens health and raise taxes on small businesses and millions of women and men across the country.
H.R. 3 has several provisions that undermine womens health. First, H.R. 3 jeopardizes womens health because it does not allow for any exceptions for abortions that are necessary because a woman faces severe and permanent health risks that could shorten her life due to conditions such as heart disease, lung disease, and cancer. For example, if a pregnant woman discovers she has cancer, and her doctor recommends, to preserve her health, that she start chemotherapy immediately, she will need to have an abortion. If H.R. 3 becomes law, her health insurance coverage would likely not cover this medically necessary abortion to protect her health.
Second, it would raise taxes on small businesses and individuals. Under H.R. 3, individuals may face higher taxes because they will not be able to claim existing tax deductions for medical expenses if that includes the cost of an abortion. Similarly, small businesses that offer their employees comprehensive health insurance coverage will also face tax penalties because they will no longer be able to claim existing tax credits. Ultimately, this will result in a tax increase for as many as four million small businesses as well as affecting millions of American women and families across the country.
In testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee on March 31, 2011, the Joint Committee on Taxation affirmed that H.R. 3 would result in higher taxes for small business and individuals.
Third, H.R. 3 seeks to impose the already-rejected abortion insurance coverage ban in the newly created health exchanges. H.R. 3 would prohibit Americans who purchase insurance in the new health exchanges from receiving federal tax credits if they choose a plan that includes coverage for abortion, even though they are also using their own private dollars in part to buy insurance coverage. The most likely result is that this would cause women to lose the comprehensive health insurance benefits they currently have.
Abortion coverage in private health insurance is a common benefit. According to the Guttmacher Institute, most Americans with employer-based insurance currently have coverage for abortion.
The likely outcome of H.R. 3 is the virtual elimination of private insurance coverage of abortion, resulting in millions of women losing the comprehensive private health insurance that they currently have.
According to an April 2011 Hart Research poll, the vast majority of American voters, 63 percent, oppose the tax increases proposed in this bill.
The White House Office of Management and Budget issued a statement on May 2, 2011, as reported in National Journal, indicating that the president would veto H.R. 3, if it reached his desk:
The administration strongly opposes H.R. 3 because it: intrudes on women's reproductive freedom and access to health care; increases the tax burden on many Americans; unnecessarily restricts the private insurance choices that consumers have today; and restricts the District of Columbias use of local funds, which undermines home rule, the White House Office of Management and Budget said in a statement.
Longstanding federal policy prohibits federal funds from being used for abortions, except in cases of rape or incest, or when the life of the woman would be endangered. This prohibition is maintained in the Affordable Care Act and reinforced through the presidents Executive Order 13535. H.R. 3 goes well beyond these safeguards by interfering with consumers private health care choices. If the president is presented with H.R. 3, his senior advisers would recommend that he veto the bill.

Man, it must REALLY suck to be rich! All that money and absolutely NO IDEA what to do with it! That's IT! Spend it all in one place, just like your mama said NOT to do!
While this certainly happens to regular people, when it happens to celebrities it's pretty epic. Watching stars who bring in millions and millions per picture have no money at all is sort of weird.
And yet, it happens. Often. Celebs file bankruptcy like some of us change our underwear. Maybe they wouldn't have to file bankruptcy if they bought normal-priced underwear?
Here are 11 stars who went broke (some will surprise you, some won't), because having a lot of money doesn't mean they know how to spend it wisely.
1. Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan used to make serious bank! But she spent it all on blow and had to have her move to New York bankrolled by Oprah Winfrey.
2. Drake Bell
Nikelodeon star Drake Bell, from Drake & Josh, filed for bankruptcy in early 2014. He was only 26 years old at the time.
3. Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson owed a reported $1.1 million in back taxes and had to sell her house to keep from filing bankruptcy.
4. Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage demands around $20 million per movie, which he spends on castles and jets and more material possessions than he will ever use in his life.
5. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag
Spencer and Heidi might have lived large on The Hills, but Pratt says that lifestyle is far from their reality. Imagine that! Reality TV that isn't real!
6. Courtney Love
Courtney Love might have been a member of Hole, but she's in the hole more often than she's out. She sold 25% of her share of Nirvana's music catalog to get out of debt.
7. Teresa Guidice
RHONJ Teresa Giudice actually owes so much money she's facing JAIL TIME for it. She and her husband, Joe Giudice, were indicted on tax evasion charges and plead guilty.
8. Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson once owed the government $16.7 million dollars. He released a special album called The IRS Tapes: Who Will Buy My Memories to pay his debt with the proceeds.
9. Lena Headey
Game of Thrones beauty Lena Headey is embroiled in a bitter divorce from Peter Loughran which has left her with as little as $5 in the bank.
10. Tionne "T Boz" Watkins
Tionne "T Boz" Watkins filed for bankruptcy in 1995, 2011, and again last year. The judge dismissed her third filing because she never tried to pay off the first two.
11. Brendan Fraser
Brendan Fraser used to make a pretty decent living. Then, he claims, he was injured during Hurricane Katrina, which has left him unable to work. He owes his wife $900,000 a YEAR in child support.

Manhattan Shores : Laura Rosen's first book, the acclaimed Top of the City, introduced readers to an unseen world high above the streets of New York City. Now, in her entrancing new collection of photographs, she takes us on a journey along the hidden edges of the world's most famous island. Over a period of three years, working in all seasons and kinds of weather, she made her way around Manhattan Island with her camera. Manhattan Shores captures a world where landscape and architecture meet in strange and wonderful combinations, a world of decay and transformation, history and neglect, beauty and desecration. Accompanied by Rosen's wryly affectionate, deeply knowledgeable text, this is a book that reveals New York City's past, present, and even its future in a brilliant series of timeless images.

Toby Imada shocked Jorge Masvidal with an inverse Triangle Choke to secure the right to face off against Eddie Alvarez for the tournament crown and the 100,000 dollar prize. Masvidal, who along with Eddie Alvarez were considered the favorites coming in, fell unconscious from the unorthodox submission hold that forced the referee to peel the legs off the limp fighter following the entertaining come from behind victory.
The highly anticipated Masvidal vs. Alvarez bout will have to wait, and while Alvarez will come in as the heavy favorite, Imada has proven that it isnt over until it is over with the surprise finish of a fighter that is considered by many to be one of the top fighters in his weight class outside of the UFC.

text: Once upon a time, before kids could read books, they listened to stories. As they listened, imaginations sprung to life and almost magically, if not scientifically, language and comprehension skills were acquired. And so goes the tale behind author/illustrator Steve Light's new story boxes. The simple wood crates contain all the elements your little Hans Christian Andersen needs to "tell" the stories of Rapunzel, Hansel & Gretel, The Girl Who Loved Danger, and Little One Inch — in his own words. Each box includes hand-painted resin characters, props to represent the setting (a river of light blue fabric), and a simple version of the folktale to read with your child before he begins spinning a yarn. Light also suggests researching alternate versions of the classic fables, so that kiddos can pick and choose their own details. So it's not the same old story.

Oh, yeah. That's what a curtain call looks like.
You could understand if Wrigley Field fans had forgotten, chugging toward the All-Star break in the fifth season with the ivy-covered walls surrounding a playoff-free zone. But it turns out they remember, and we have Dioner Navarro to thank for reminding us.
Like a cross between Tuffy Rhodes and Mike Caruso, the 29-year-old switch-hitter from Venezuela put his stamp on the City Series on a lazy Wednesday afternoon. The outfield walls finally a green worthy of Sherwin Williams, Navarro blasted three balls over them, the last of them hit left-handed — off reliever Brian Omogrosso — flying all the way to Sheffield Avenue.
If you count the first ball he crushed — a long, hard foul into the seats down the left-field line — he almost had four home runs. Instead he had to settle for being the first Cubs catcher since George Mitterwald in 1974 to have three in one game.
He won't get greedy.
"I had two (home runs) one time in a Little League game,'' Navarro said, smiling like Sammy Sosa in 1998. "That was about it. … It's a good feeling. So surreal now.''
Navarro, signed for $1.75 million to back up the unproven Welington Castillo, has been a rare bargain for a team that has squandered money like Lindsay Lohan.
This being Chicago's City Series, it will not come as a surprise that Navarro's power display fueled a 9-3 victory for the Cubs, not the team that needed to win the most. It was a long, painful day for the White Sox, who have slid back to two games below .500 in an attempt to retain their seasonal relevance.
There has been no end to the twists and turns in 17 years of interleague play between the Cubs and White Sox, but the prevailing storyline is it's a welcome chance for a downtrodden team to strike back.
The Cubs, who had lost six of seven before arriving at U.S. Cellular with an 19-30 record on Monday, have done just that with two easy victories. They were beating Chris Sale 2-0 on Tuesday before downpours arrived in the third inning, causing a rainout.
"It's a series where sometimes if you're in a little bit of a lull it gets you going again because of the intensity,'' Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "You know everybody in Chicago is watching.''
Not anymore, they aren't. The lack of optimism with both fan bases has put a dent into both fan bases. That's why the Blackhawks' Game 6 against the Red Wings doubled Cubs-White Sox in ratings on Monday night.
The common theme between our baseball teams is dead money. The Cubs still are paying Alfonso Soriano and Carlos Marmol after finally getting out from under investments in Milton Bradley and Carlos Zambrano. The White Sox are getting dragged down by the $25 million they still owe Adam Dunn, the .153-hitting cleanup hitter, and are scared to death about the post-surgery future of John Danks, who gave up Navarro's two right-handed-hitting homers — a liner into the seats in left-center field and a fly that slipped just inside the left-field foul pole.
Danks was making his second start since surgery, and he didn't have much. His fastball hit 92 early but was in the high-80s in the third and fourth innings, and the Cubs seemed to know when his 80-mph changeups were coming. He's owed $14.25 million through 2016 and will need a bottomless supply of toughness to add onto the legacy he began when he beat the Twins in Game 163 in 2008.
Baseball does offer a lot of chances to change the storyline. Navarro is taking care of the one he was offered by Cubs President Theo Epstein, who signed him based on reports of how hard he played for Triple-A Louisville last season, when he couldn't carve out room on Dusty Baker's Reds roster.
With the Rays, Navarro is remembered for packing his bag and going home early when he was left off the roster for the first round of the 2010 playoffs. He was so frustrated he left even though Joe Maddon wanted a chance to add him for the next round, if the Rays beat the Rangers.
That must have seemed a long, long time ago when Navarro stood at the plate and watched his blast off Omogrosso sail toward the right-field rooftops, for his third homer of the day and sixth in 58 at-bats this season. The temple of doom was suddenly a house of joy, and it was clear that none of the views were blocked.
Surreal? No, not really. That was baseball in all its mysterious splendor.
Navarro, seemingly like everybody else in Chicago, was headed to the United Center afterward for the Hawks' Game 7 against the Red Wings. He knew he won't be in Thursday's lineup, and he didn't mind, not a bit.
"I'm going to have a few days off,'' Navarro said, smiling. "I'm going to take advantage of it.''

I don't know what brand it is but that's a faucet for a Claw Foot tub. You should be able to stop in a local plumbing supplier with pictures and they will order you a faucet kit.
Hey There, thanks for taking a peek at my post. My long pipe shower setup recently broke from the top of the tub faucet. The threads snapped off the shaft and are still stuck in the fitting that is on top of the tub faucet. I have come up dry after spending a couple of hours on the internet. I simply have no clue what kind of shower setup I have. I joined this forum hoping that someone can point me in the right direction as far as getting parts. I have included pictures to help with the deciphering of my mystery shower. There is no brand/name stamped or etched anywhere on the unit. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for reading in.
I don't know what brand it is but that's a faucet for a Claw Foot tub. You should be able to stop in a local plumbing supplier with pictures and they will order you a faucet kit.
It is not for a clawfoot tub...it is just an old 4" tub/shower valve. They are still available, possibly from Phoenix. Code does not allow the faucet to be mountdd down there now, but whose checking???
IT is a 3 3/4" leg tub "retro shower" faucet. The riser is 3/8" chrome pipe. You have to remove the broken piece somehow, then buy a new piece of pipe the same length as the old one, probably 24" long and connect it between the faucet and the upper piece. That faucet could have been made by Chicago Specialty, but there were, and are, several other companies who make the same thing. I had one of those in my warehouse for decades before I finally decided to scrap it.

Thanks for all the info guys. I shouldnt have any problems getting what i need now that i know what im dealing with. Hardest part will be getting the top fitting off the tub faucet. In the middle of the round fitting is a piece asking for an allen key. Hopefully that will turn for me. Thanks again.
I think this is the actual faucet. I will have to measure dimensions to be sure. Now all i need to do is find a connecting pipe.

That type of setup, with the tub spout located below the rim of the tub, hasn't been okay by code for years. The reason is that if the tub was full and there was a hiccup in the water pressure (say they opened some fire hydrants or sometime like that), it could momentarily suck that dirty bath water into the piping and pollute the water for maybe not only your home, but for your neighbors as well. You should think about maybe updating things. Connect that hole in the tub to an overflow, and maybe use an adjustable bar for a new handheld shower. A new valve setup would also provide you with some anti-scald protection, which is also code for new or remodels. You can legally repair what you have, but it may not be the best idea. You couldn't legally replace it with the same, though, if the whole thing broke.

Codes and legality doesnt really concern me. I mean, I am a just a renter afterall. Currently, everyone has been taking baths to get by. I'm just looking for the quickest solution to be able to take a shower again lol. I think finding that top fitting alone, without having to buy the whole faucet setup, will be my biggest hiccup. Not sure if that piece can be purchased seperately. Thanks for quality replies.
if you are a renter, WHY are you messing with it in the first place?!?
It can happen.
Three things relevent to this particular installation.
1. He DOES have an overflow in the tub, and
2. Backflow would only occur if the faucet was filling the tub, the water was above the overflow and the faucet was underwaterm adn the water supply was turned off and a lower faucet was opened to create a suction.
3. If the faucet had to be replaced there are "legal" faucets which could be used. They have a "gooseneck" spout to raise the outlet above the tub's rim.

I did manage to get the top fitting piece off(used and allen key) of the faucet. Anyone know of where I can source that part out alone without buying the entire faucet setup??

photo credit Oak HammockAs the baby boomers reach retirement age, institutions across the United States will have to find creative solutions to accommodate their burgeoning numbers. Despite this growing need, a retirement community on a college campus might not seem to be a great idea. It's not difficult to imagine late-night police calls from seniors who think midnight is entirely too late to be playing loud music, or are appalled by the undergraduates who trample the beloved garden of a 90-year old during their late night escapades. But Oak Hammock at the University of Florida, Inc. has created just such an unlikely pairing, a relationship in which university administration, students, senior residents, and other stakeholders have found a lot to like.
Eight organizations and partnerships in Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties were each awarded a "JumpStart the Conversation" grant on February 2, 2009.
The winning projects exemplify the use of innovative ideas focused on creating livable communities for all ages and theme of "transportation and mobility options". These strategies are aimed at the over 11 percent of residents age 65 and over in the two counties, and will encourage services that strengthen "aging in place" and increases accessibility to transportation and fosters independence among older adults.
The Grantees followed the Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties workshop on November 17, 2008; titled Increasing Transportation and Mobility Options: Creating Livable Miami-Dade & Monroe Counties for All Ages.
America is aging. Today roughly 37 million Americans age 65 and older represent slightly more than 12 percent of the country's total population. By the year 2030 the number of Americans in this age group will nearly double, accounting for one-fifth of the population—almost all of these people will grow old in their own homes. Communities will face unprecedented challenges to providing the services and infrastructure that this population will demand. Yet, if communities are resourceful, innovative and prudent, these challenges will be eclipsed by the enormous share of social, political and human capital that will be made available by embracing the older adult population.
The MetLife Foundation has funded Partners for Livable Communities to implement the MetLife City Leaders Institute on Aging in Place. This timely initiative is inspired by the successful Mayors' Institute on City Design that has helped prepare more than 800 mayors to understand and put into practice the components of urban design over the past two decades. The City Leaders Institute has adapted a process to focus on the assets, needs and attributes of the over 65 population and consider what this means for local jurisdictions. This is accomplished by working with local leaders to establish a local Aging in Place goa, engaging a broad array of civic players around the goal, and raising awareness among everyone of the importance of embracing the growing older population.
Ten communities have been selected by Partners and MetLife Foundation to participate in the second year of the program. All are involved in a variety of innovative projects that have potential for being models for others.
Alexandria will create a stakeholder group to roll out a replicable, area-by-area approach to creating viable, safe access for pedestrians, with particular emphasis on the older individual and the individual living with disabilities. This "Complete Streets" initiative goes well beyond transportation- it involves looking at aging in place on the whole, recognizing that access to places for seniors results in living healthier, longer, and with dignity.
Asheville will engage the 50 and older population to determine what makes aging well in Asheville possible. As a result of the assessment, which will be distributed as a survey, Asheville will then create a model for aging in place that goes well beyond transportation, but certainly includes it.
The City of Chicago will create and implement the first phase of a volunteer drive effort to provide seniors, as well as people who are blind or visually impaired between the ages of 18-64, access to medical treatments such as dialysis and chemotherapy. As the program takes shape, it will expand to include other types of trips.
Kansas City will engage the senior and youth populations in an intergenerational recorded history program, whereby stories of older adults and histories of neighbourhoods will be recorded, preserved, and utilized for the good of the community. Anticipated outcomes include older adults achieving a sense of purpose, and being considered valued assets within the community at-large.
Louisville will bring the city's "Complete Streets" policy from concept to action. In the next 12 months the city will engage in a three-pronged effort of engaging, raising awareness, and celebrating successes. This will specifically involve: creating a Photo Voice initiative with older adults, where barriers to access will be identified and documented; identifying and executing at least two (one urban, one suburban) publically visible demonstration projects that respond to such barriers; and sharing these findings through a high-profile, community-wide celebration.
Memphis will address the needs of older adults in the region whose homes are not currently suited for aging in place. Through the formation of a public-private partnership, the team will: identify viable funding and volunteer sources, develop a set of criteria for determining necessary home modifications, and create an implementation plan for a kickoff event in March 2014. The Memphis team will develop a centralized system that determines the home modification needs of older adults, directs them to these services, and provides funding for those who cannot afford to make such changes themselves.
Oklahoma City will develop a process to insure that four senior centers set to be constructed in the city will be as inclusive, accessible, and encouraging of quality aging in place for the older individual, as possible. The process will involve asset mapping, utilizing universal design concepts, and incorporating lifelong learning, arts and culture, and health and wellness into the programmatic offerings of the centers.
Phoenix will offer site-specific instruction to assist older adults in accessing reliable transportation options that enhance their capacity to age in place. Some critical steps along the way will include the creation and distribution of "origin and destination" surveys, investigating transit plans to restructure paratransit, researching and developing metrics for cost-benefit analysis of free travel for individuals aged 65 and older, as well as identifying the specific steps and processes required by each pilot program.
Salt Lake City will utilize the opportunities provided by the creation of the Utah Performing Arts Center and branding of the "Cultural Core" to insure that the spaces and associated programs enrich the lives of older adults. Salt Lake City will also assist arts groups in discovering new audiences by way of the senior population. Structural concepts of universal design and ADA compliance will be factored into the creation of the center, as will programmatic concepts that are inclusive of the diverse population of Salt Lake City.
San Diego will engage their senior, disabled, and veteran populations in the process of developing a one-stop shop of seamless, intuitive, inviting technology for the older individual to access transportation and other community-wide information. The system, named "OSCAR" (One Stop Community Access Resource), will come to fruition once the following has taken place: needs assessment conducted; design and functionality of system articulated; engagement plan developed; prototype testing done; and data from assessments and testing synthesized.

Country music community reacts to death of country music star Mindy McCready
Police said Mindy McCready committed suicide Sunday afternoon after shooting her deceased boyfriends dog. The 37-year-old country singer and mother of two died Sunday from what police said was a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
McCready was found on her front porch yesterday afternoon, the same place her boyfriend was found last month after he allegedly committed suicide.
The singer struggled publicly with drugs, alcohol and depression.
A few years ago she joined the reality t-v show "Celebrity Rehab" where she was treated for addiction by Dr. Drew Pinsky. He says since then she has been struggling, but refused to go back to treatment.
"Her biggest fear was the stigma of doing so and what people would think if she god forbid took care of herself. This to me is the most distressing part of the story, she is a lovely woman, we have lost her and it didn't have to go down like that," said Pinsky.
McCready first caught the ear of country music listeners when she released the album "10,000 Angels" in 1996.
"I loved her song and the video for "10,000 Angels," now I think there are 10,001 angels," said KBCY DJ JB cloud.
McCready had 14 songs and 6 albums on the billboard country charts. Her "friends in music" are planning to organize a memorial for her in Nashville.

ATTENTION: Parents/Guardians & Members of the Educational Community:
The Pennsylvania Department of Education recently released the Pennsylvania School Performance Profile. This public site provides an academic performance score for every public school in the Commonwealth.
This performance score serves several purposes:
· informs the public of school performance
· provides a building level score for educators as part of their evaluation system
· allows the public to compare schools across the state
· gives schools a methodology to analyze their strengths and needs
In the past, public schools received designations under No Child Left Behind (e.g., Warning, School Improvement, Corrective Action) that were based on a limited number of data points. The School Performance Profile ratings are more comprehensive in that they account for multiple measures of performance (e.g., test scores, progress in closing achievement gaps, degree of student growth over time).
School Performance Profile ratings also account for identifiers of high achieving schools such asrigorous course offerings, graduation, promotion, and attendance rates. Schools may earn extra points beyond the 100 point scoring system for advanced scores on the state, industry, and Advanced Placement Exams.
The score for a school is based upon indicators that define a high performing school. Many data elements contribute to the academic score. These elements are categorized into five areas:
School may earn Extra Credit for Advanced Achievement (up to 7 points).

According to Chief Deputy Matt Wade, Jennifer Orr, 37, had been in contact with more than eight different boys, including the victim, age 14 to 16, over the past couple of months.
Wade said Orr contacted the 16-year-old victim through Facebook and text messaging.
According to the chief deputy, the victim's mother and grandmother also contacted Orr through Facebook and sent her text messages, telling her to stop talking to the victim.
The deputy said Orr came to the victim's home around 3 p.m. Friday and took him to a friend's house. When the victim's mother noticed he was missing, she called the Sheriff's Office to file a report, the deputy said. The mother told investigators about Orr's contact with her son, and gave deputies a description of Orr's vehicle, Wade said.
Deputies found Orr in a rented Ford vehicle around 5:15 p.m. on U.S. 431, Wade said. When deputies pulled her over, the 16-year-old was no longer in the vehicle. Orr had another boy, 14, with her in the vehicle at the time of her arrest, the deputy said.
The 14-year-old was taken to the Sheriff's Office to be questioned by the Department of Human Resources, the deputy said.
Wade said that after the suspect was arrested, she told deputies she dropped the 16-year-old off at a friend's house. Upon further investigation, deputies discovered Orr had been supplying the boys with marijuana, Wade said.
The relationships between Orr and the eight victims were still under investigation this afternoon, according to Wade.
The Department of Human Resources and the Calhoun Cleburne Children's Center are also involved in the investigation.
Orr is charged with a felony count of interfering with child custody. She was released on a $2,500 bond Saturday, according to jail officials. She is to appear in court Nov. 18.

Dogme 95
|Dogme 95
|Years active
|International, started in Denmark
|Major figures
|Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Kristian Levring, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, Jean-Marc Barr
|Realism, French New Wave
|Mumblecore, New Puritans
Dogme 95 was an avant-garde filmmaking movement started in 1995 by the Danish directors Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, who created the "Dogme 95 Manifesto" and the "Vow of Chastity" (Danish: kyskhedsløfter). These were rules to create filmmaking based on the traditional values of story, acting, and theme, and excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology.[1] They were later joined by fellow Danish directors Kristian Levring and Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, forming the Dogme 95 Collective or the Dogme Brethren. Dogme (pronounced [ˈd̥ɒwmə]) is the Danish word for dogma.
The genre gained international appeal partly because of its accessibility. It sparked an interest in unknown filmmakers by suggesting that one can make a recognised film of a quality to gain recognition, without being dependent on commissions or huge Hollywood budgets. The directors used European government subsidies and television station funding instead.
Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg wrote and co-signed the manifesto and its companion "vows". Vinterberg said that they wrote the pieces in 45 minutes.[2] The manifesto initially mimics the wording of François Truffaut's 1954 essay "Une certaine tendance du cinéma français" in Cahiers du cinéma.
They announced the Dogme movement on March 13, 1995 in Paris, at Le cinéma vers son deuxième siècle conference. The cinema world had gathered to celebrate the first century of motion pictures and contemplate the uncertain future of commercial cinema. Called upon to speak about the future of film, Lars von Trier showered a bemused audience with red pamphlets announcing "Dogme 95".
In response to criticism, von Trier and Vinterberg have both stated that they just wanted to establish a new extreme: "In a business of extremely high budgets, we figured we should balance the dynamic as much as possible."[citation needed]
The first of the Dogme films (Dogme #1) was Vinterberg's 1998 film Festen (The Celebration). It was critically acclaimed and won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival that year. Lars von Trier's Dogme film, Idioterne (The Idiots), also premiered at Cannes that year but was less successful. Since the two films were released, other directors have made films based on Dogme principles. French-American actor and director Jean-Marc Barr was the first non-Dane to direct a Dogme film: Lovers (1999) (Dogme #5). The American Harmony Korine's film Julien Donkey-Boy (Dogme #6) also was considered a Dogme film.
The end credits of Het Zuiden (South) (2004), directed by Martin Koolhoven, included thanks to "Dogme 95". Koolhoven originally planned to shoot it as a Dogme film, and it was co-produced by von Trier's Zentropa. Finally, the director decided he did not want to be so severely constrained as by Dogme principles.
Since the late 2000s, the emergence of video technology in DSLR photography cameras, such as the Canon EOS 550D, has resulted in a tremendous surge of both feature and short films shot with most, if not all, of the rules pertaining to the Dogme 95 manifesto. However, because of advancements in technology and quality, the aesthetic of these productions typically appears drastically different from that of the Dogme films shot on Tape or DVD-R Camcorders. Largely erasing the primitive and problematic features of past technologies, newer technologies have helped Dogme 95 filmmakers achieve an aesthetic of higher resolution, as well as of lower contrast, film grain, and saturation.
Goals and rules[edit]
The goal of the Dogme collective is to purify filmmaking by refusing expensive and spectacular special effects, post-production modifications and other technical gimmicks. The filmmakers concentrate on the story and the actors' performances. They believe this approach may better engage the audience, as they are not alienated or distracted by overproduction. To this end, Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg produced ten rules to which any Dogme film must conform. These rules, referred to as the "Vow of Chastity," are as follows:[1]
- Shooting must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in (if a particular prop is necessary for the story, a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found).
- The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. (Music must not be used unless it occurs where the scene is being shot.)
- The camera must be hand-held. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted.
- The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable. (If there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera).
- Optical work and filters are forbidden.
- The film must not contain superficial action. (Murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.)
- Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden. (That is to say that the film takes place here and now).
- Genre movies are not acceptable.
- The film format must be Academy 35 mm.
- The director must not be credited.
Uses and abuses[edit]
The above rules have been both circumvented and broken from the first Dogme film to be produced. For instance, Vinterberg "confessed" to having covered a window during the shooting of one scene in The Celebration (Festen). With this, he both brought a prop onto the set and used "special lighting." Von Trier used background music (Le Cygne by Camille Saint-Saëns) in the film The Idiots (Idioterne).
Since 2002 and the 31st film, a filmmaker no longer needs to have his work verified by the original board to identify it as a Dogme 95 work. The founding "brothers" have begun working on new experimental projects and have been skeptical about the later common interpretation of the Manifesto as a brand or a genre. The movement broke up in 2005.[3] Today, filmmakers submit a form online and check a box which states they "truly believe that the film ... has obeyed all Dogme95 rules as stated in the VOW OF CHASTITY."[4]
Remodernist filmmaker Jesse Richards criticizes the movement in his Remodernist Film Manifesto, stating in relation to Point 10, "Remodernist film is not Dogme '95. We do not have a pretentious checklist that must be followed precisely. This manifesto should be viewed only as a collection of ideas and hints whose author may be mocked and insulted at will."[5] American film critic Armond White also criticized the movement, stating that it was "the manifesto that brought filmmaking closer to amateur porn". He believed the movement would be rejected as insignificant by film historians.[6]

The EFM has been making its home in the magnificent renaissance building Martin-Gropius-Bau, internationally known as one of Berlin's premier art museums, and the deluxe modern Marriott Hotel at the Potsdamer Platz. The proximity (spatial and otherwise) to the festival gives the EFM important impulses and ensures that it stays one of the most dynamic marketplaces for international film that it is today.

Google, Apple Accused of Holding Down Pay Across Tech Industry
NEW YORK (MainStreet) Nearly 60,000 Silicon Valley workers have banded together in a class action lawsuit accusing major technology firms including Google, Apple and Adobe of conspiring to hold down pay across the industry. Reuters is now reporting that Tuesday afternoon the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals gave final approval to that class certification.
The plaintiffs allege that the Silicon Valley tech giants have formed a cartel to "fix and suppress" wages across the industry by refusing to hire each others' employees. Workers claim that the case could ultimately be worth more than $9 billion in damages, a number made much higher by the court's Tuesday order allowing the case to proceed.
According to Reuters, much of the case revolves around e-mails between former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and the late Apple CEO Steve Jobs, messages in which the CEOs agree not to hire anyone employed by the other.
The claims are based on antitrust laws and allege illegal collusion to fix the hiring market and suppress wages. Class certification will allow the plaintiffs to proceed as one, joint lawsuit instead of breaking the case into the 60,000 claims of every worker. Courts allow this mechanism when each plaintiff alleges essentially the same conduct and type of harm, since trying one case is a much more efficient use of resources than trying essentially the same case 60,000 times.
Class certification also allows lawsuits to move forward when a defendant has caused enough aggregate harm, but no one plaintiff has lost enough to afford a lawsuit. Often in large class action lawsuits, the certification of the class decides whether or not defendants settle, as breaking the class can effectively end the suit. Failure to break the class, however, can create potentially massive exposure.
Plaintiffs won certification of their class in front of District Court Judge Lucy Koh, a decision which the defendants appealed. The higher court refused to allow this appeal, meaning the case will almost certainly proceed except in the extraordinary event that defendants successfully appeal to the Supreme Court.
Trial is set to begin in the 9th Circuit District Court on May 27 on In re: High-Tech Employee Antitrust Litigation, No. 13-80223. The Court of Appeals order refusing to allow the defendants' appeal is Hariharan et al v. Adobe Systems, Inc. et al, No. 11-02509.

I came across a sentence this morning on a page saying "...take social mileage out of his good behaviour...". So what does "social mileage" exactly mean here?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
- "Questions that can be answered using commonly-available references are off-topic. A list of these references can be found here: List of general references" – MrHen, TrevorD, cornbread ninja 麵包忍者, MετάEd, Kristina Lopez
Mileage is traditionally used to quantify the potential distance a car will travel before it needs some kind of maintenance (e.g. petrol, gas, repairs). It thus represents an abstract value.
The second Oxford definition for 'mileage' is: (thanks Matt Ellen)
This is the sense in which milage is used here.
Social milage refers to the social value or feelings of goodwill towards a brand or company or any other entity (even though it is unlikely to be quantifiable). Its similarity to a vehicular mileage is in the fact that it refers to value that would only be obtained in the future (potential benefit).
In the case of the sentence you read, we can take it to mean that some man has behaved well and earned a sense of goodwill towards him from those around him. He probably hasn't benefited from that sense of goodwill yet but may well in the future.
I think the sentence means good behaviour of a person in society.The total life span of a peron is being measured in mileage.

Neighborhoods: East Oak Hill, Oak Hill
Pure Skin Spa with Heather Bird at Grapevine – I've been visiting Heather for the last 6 months and my skin looks & feels amazing. I experience adult acne and have tried every over-the-counter remedy without much improvement. With Heather's treatments, I see drastic improvement. I love my glowing skin, I love the Rhonda Allison products, & I love the experience in her skin spa!
Heather's new location at Grapevine Salons was very easy to get to and, once inside, it is peaceful & calm.
great stlylist – I went to Angela at her other salon for months now. She recently moved to Grapevine and Im so glad to have found her! She does a fabulous job on my cut and color everytime! And her new place is so adorable! IShe even offers the best drinks!!
GO TO FRANKIE AND MISTY DOWNTOWN LOCATION – I have been going to Frankie for haircuts and styles for 4yrs and I refuse to see anyone else. I get stopped by complete strangers asking who cuts my hair. Frankie and Misty used to work are some of the nicest people you will meet and they will remember you when you come in. I promise if you see them once you will never go anywhere else. They are new to Grapevine so stop by and see them. They are doing big things with their careers such as fashion shows, hair shows, etc. Come and experience the best hair cut you've ever had!
RHONDA PETERS!!! – Rhonda Peters is a hairstylist in Grapevine and she is the absolute best I have ever had to date. She's funny and nice...a real joy to spend an hour and a half with while she's working on my hair. Not only is her personality refreshing, but her work is too! She had done wonders with my hair, with the cut and the color! She listens to my direction and when I tell her to add in her own flair she's so good at it. She really knows everything from traditional to modern looks, and she is very accommodating. You should give her a try. You won't be disappointed! (You can call or email her and she is prompt with her responses. <yoursalsasource@yahoo>/ 512-485-1035 OR 512-785-9166) Good luck!
Great Nails – I have to say I have been to many nail places, and am truely fed up with people not speaking english, and suggesting I "need" my eyebrows done. I found a great new girl named Tami Norman. She is posh, sassy, and extremely fun to chat with. And she does a great set of nails. If your looking for an upscale atmosphere and spending your time with someone who seems like shes one of your girlfriends, I'd definitly recommend going to her. Plus...there are some great stylists in there, her hair always looks fabulous.
Best Blonde Highlites – I have been going to Alex Derer for almost 3 years now, and I think she is one of the best stylists for doing Blonde hair. I get more compliments on my blonde than I could ever remember getting before I started coming to her. Shes also a great listener as well. If your going to try someone at Grapevine, I think you should try her.

And who can blame them?
No, I'm not talking about how Grant's teams don't win enough. Lots of coaches have that problem.
Grant's teams simply are boring to watch. Apparently, they're boring to play for, too. Why else would a bright star such as Trevor Lacey transfer to North Carolina State, where he is having to sit out a year before he can play?
Bottom line, Alabama struggles to score points, and that just isn't interesting or entertaining for most folks. Defensive battles are fine, especially as long as there is the possibility of seeing a shootout. At Alabama, low-scoring and low-interest is the name of the game 9 out of 10 times.
Lots of folks have trouble scoring. Last season, Division I teams averaged 67.5 points a game, which is the lowest since 1951-52. The NCAA even adjusted the rules this season to help scoring, not allowing defenders as much contact with their forearms and hands on offensive players.
Maybe that has helped Alabama some, as its scoring has gone up from about 63 points a game last year to about 70 this year.
But the Crimson Tide is now in SEC play, and the scoring figures will go down steadily. Alabama has put up more than 68 points against an SEC opponent only once this season. After Saturday's eye-rolling 68-47 loss to Missouri, the Tide ranks ninth in the league in scoring. In Grant's first four years, Alabama ranked 11th, 10th, ninth and 11th in scoring.
Grant has a contract that runs until 2019, and Alabama isn't quite ready to get rid of somebody who has so many years left. Maybe the Crimson Tide should think of it this way – it can miss the NCAA tournament with Grant's bore-ball, or it can miss the NCAA tournament while ranking first or second in the league in scoring.
Which would draw more interest?

Creating a fairer Britain
The Commission responded to the consultation from BIS on Choice for Families: Additional Paternity Leave and Pay that was open between September and November 2009.
The Commission broadly welcomes the Government's proposals for the draft regulations on Additional Paternity Leave (APL). The Commission believes that implementation of APL would provide more choice for parents in childcare responsibilities and a more equitable sharing of leave entitlements. The proposals are in the right direction of travel of more leave for fathers and to support more fathers' involvement in caring.
The role of fathers as care-givers within the family has received increasing attention from policy and research in the last decade. While there have been huge changes in women's participation in employment over the last 30 years, men's contribution to childcare has not increased at the same rate. In most cases, women continue to shoulder the responsibility for childcare, even in households where both parents work full-time.
However, evidence shows that there is a strong desire of many fathers to spend more time with their children but that this can be frustrated by long working hours, inflexible workplaces and outdated family leave policy.

The Cook County Forest Preserves are mostly off limits for citizen to enjoy ! These parks have become "toys" for Chicago politicians to get their relatives and friends appointed to forest preserve jobs and Watchmen positions, with the perk of being able to live in cheap housing within the preserves in exchange for dubious watchmen duties. The same is the situation at Crabtree Forest Preserve in Barrington HIlls, Illinois !
Crabtree Nature Preserve has just three well-defined hiking paths of varying lengths in its three miles of trail. 1,000 acres make up the Crabtree Nature Center. There is also 200 acres that extends across Palantine Road. All together the 1,200 acres define the Crabtree Forest Preserve.
Hikers are expected to stay on the trails, all of which are located in a small area of Crabtree Nature Preserve near its Nature Center. Signs are posted along the trails reminding voters of preserve policy, and wandering off the trails would indeed be foolish as dense brush and invasive buckhorn do not invite further exploration apart from what can be seen following the defined trails.
Some might say that such caution is warranted, as it could save rare nature from over-use, trampling, wildflower picking, and such, but when a conservation policy has as its aim to return preserves to how they were before man entered the scene to alter the natural habitat, problems develop: 1) The expensive law enforcement department, with its political appointment, is unable to police the preserves, and 2) Drug czars seize the opportunity to pay illegal workers to plant and nurse lucrative marijuana field.
Such was the situation in July of 2007, where about 200 yards from a highway commuters hum along every day, authorities found 38,000 marijuana plants worth millions, described as "the nation's largest illegal cannabis cultivation schemes." www.policeone.com/drug-interdiction-narcotics/articles/1292910-Ill-authorities-bust-then-burn-10M-worth-of-pot/
Conservation also means paying attention by promoting ambitious programs to monitor and care for woods, prairies, and wetlands. Perhaps more natural burns by law enforcement are needed to counter the hands-off-approach now favored?
Wouldn't it make sense for regular visitors to Cook County forest preserves to take it upon themselves to report anything out of line? After all, it was an intern studying foxes who caught the pot farmers at Crabtree.
What about camping? As reported in the Chicago Sun-Times on May 9, 2012: "A century ago, city dwellers and suburbanites alike could simply head to the nearby Cook County Forest Preserves to go camping -- and could even build their own cabins within the preserves' boundaries anywhere they saw fit."
In 1929 camping was stopped when officials became upset that campers "came and went wherever they pleased, littering the ground and marring the beauty and serenity of the woodlands." http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/11739954-418/cook-county-fores...
The Sun-Times followed up with an editorial on May 11, 2012 urging that camping be allowed the Cook County Forest Preserves. "Let the tents into Cook County forest preserves." Expressed in the editorial was the necessity to ensure that camping areas are not overrun by people more interested in all-night partying than in sleeping under the stars. Richard Louy was mentioned, author of the: "Last child in the Wood" and other books, who is of the opinion that kids don't get enough time in the woods and how natural surroundings sharpen kids' senses, lower obesity rates, and even ease attention -deficit disorders. http://www.suntimes.com/opinions/11798330-474/editorial-let-the-tents...
Cook County Forest Preserve Supt. Arnold Randall is currently working on a plan to once again open up pockets of the 68,000-acres which define the Cook County Forest Preserves. The process of developing a new Camping Master Plan was first announced in the Daily Herald on March 22, 2012. It's intent was to assess whether there is a need within the county for additional camping experiences and programs to engage broader populations. www.dailyherald.com/article/20120315/submitted/703159511/print/
In a follow up report on August 21 by Dale Bowman of the Suntimes an early draft was released of the Cook County Camping Master Plan. A series of Public open meetings followed to present the master plan and receive input from the public (The elements of the draft proposal are extensive, Hopefully the proposal is not all talk with little followup no action!). http://www.suntimes.com/opinions/11798330-474/editorial-let-the-tents...
While a ban dating back to1929 has kept tents out of the Cook County preserves, some adjoining collar countries have welcomed campers. Dupage Forest Preserve Commissioner, Roger Kotecki, has kept camping in Blackwell Forest Preserve popular and safe in part by banning alcohol, closing the gates to the camping area an hour after dark to prevent people from coming and going all night. http://www.suntimes.com/opinions/11798330-474/editorial-let-the-tents...
Jamie Sotonoff of the Daily Herald asked the following questions about camping in Cook County forest preserves in his article of August 22, "Cook County wants to expand, improve camping sites": Are you in favor of new bunkhouses at Crabtree Nature Center in Barrington Hills and new cabins at Camp Reinberg in Palatine? Do you want places in Cook County forest preserves where families can camp?" http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20120822/news/708229952/print/
The already mentioned Blackwell Forest Preserve in neighboring Dupage County has elaborate camping facilities. The following link ( http://www.dupageforest.com/Recreation/ActivitiesAndFacilities/Camping.html) has information about the nature of the camping facility -- 62 wooded and semiwooded family campsites, open from May through September on Friday and Saturday nights with additional nights during holiday weekends -- and how to reserve one of its camping sites. Blackwell also offers Youth-Group Camping with 12 semiwooded campsites that can accommodate up to 25 campers open the year-round.
Also in Dupage County, Waterfall Glen (http://www.dupageforest.com/preserve.aspx?id=4224) and Greene Valley (http://www.dupageforest.com/conservation/forestpreserves%29/Greene_Valley.html) have year-round camping facilities for youth groups.
Although not as elaborate, neighboring Lake County forest preserves offers youth group camping sites at Fox River, Lakewood, and Van Patten Woods. http://www.lcfpd.org/preserves/index.cfm?fuseaction=preserves.viewActDetail&object_id=145
With the camping proposals now on the drawing board for Cook County Forest Preserves, do you feel confident that, if followed through, the preserves, now advantageous for illegal marijuana growing, will morph into beautiful county parks as are throughout the world!
At the same time, citizens will be traveling just short distances to and from the parks, precluding the expense of purchasing gallons of ever increasingly expensive gasoline!
